EngIdnd's Throne.

The throne Of England, 50 splendid
when covered with silk, velvet and gold
Is. in fact, only an "oId oak chair" over
800 years in Use for the same purpose
It's existence has been traced back to the
days Of Edward. The wood Is very hard
and solid. The back and sides were for.
merly in various colors and the seat i
made of rough-looking sandstone 2f
inches in length, II in breadth and 49,
in thickness, and in this stone lies the
grand popularity of the chair. Mum
berless legends are told in connection
with it, the truth probably being that il
was originally taken from Ireland t.
Scotland and served at the coronation o.
the early Scottish kings.

4 Bride at the Altar KILLED by a Shell
in the BOmbardment Of Charleston.

AAqntq Constitution
On April %, 1863, in Charleston, S. c.,
at the residence of Governor Pickens, a
party was assembled to witness the mar
riage of Annie Pickens to Lieutenant
lie Rochelle.
1t was a time when terror and anguish
was prevailing through the entire South,
and the booming of the Union guns then
roared in the harbors, but the little num-
Der who had collected together had de-
termined to smile, even though their
hearts were aching and they were trem-
bling with terror. Beneath the soft light
of the chandelier the clergyman stood
with the habilaments of the church en-
shrouding his venerable form. Before
him was the noble young lieutenant in
his official uniform, while beside him
leant the beautiful and stately woman
who was to become his wife. There she
stood, regal and proud, possessing every
thing that prestige of birth, rank and
wealth could give "Are you ready"
asked the minister, unclasping his book.
"Yes," said lie Rochelle, taking the hand
of his bride Scarcely was the answer
uttered than there was an awful crash.
A shell from the enemy's guns had pene-
trated the mansion, bursting into the
midst Of the marriage scene, and scatter
ing its deadly missiles around; men trem-
bled and women screamed, mirrors were
shivered and for a moment the walls
seemed 70 rock to and fro. In few mo-
ments quiet reigned, and it was ascertain
ed that the only fatal wound received
was in the left temple of the waiting bride,
who Law like beautiful crushed flower
in the arms of her agonized lover. Lay
ing her on a lounge he bent over her, and
in moan of despair, prayed that even
in death she would become his wife. Her
quick-drawn breath melted in sigh as
the lips smiled assent. There she lay
pure and white as the cluster of camilias
at her breast, while the crimson life-tide
oozed in heavy drops from the death
wound in her brow and coursed its stream
over the lovely cheek, marring the snowy
clouds of her bridal veil that enveloped
her. The ceremony was Of few words,
and the "yes' was murmured in a dying
whisper beneath the husbands kiss. In
a moment all was over, a little struggle
and she was dead.
Beneath the cool deep shadows Of the
magnolia Annie Pickens lie Rochelle
was laid to rest, where the sad vail Of the
waters sighed an eternal requiem, while
the brave young soldier went his way, in
the fire and danger of battle, to serve hi:
country and his God. He little feared
the sword or the bullet of war, for ever
at his heart there was a wound more cruel
than death and lasting rs life.

MAXEY's Ga January, 1856.
For twelve or fourteen years have been q
great sufferer from a terrible form of blood
poison which ran into the secondary, and IL
nally it was pronounced tetiary form. My

of corruption, and finally the disease CON-

came so horribly repulsiye that for three years
| absolutely refused TO let people see me.

edies and applied to nearly all physicians near
me, but my condition continued to grow worse,
and all said that / must surely die. Ny bones
became the seat of excruciating aches and
pains; my nights were passed IN misery
was reduced in flesh and strength; my kid
news were terribly derangcd, and life became n
burden to me.
I CHANGED to see an advertisement Of B. B.

ed one bottle for me. 1t was used with deci-
ded benefit, and when eight or ten bottles had
been used | was pronounced sound and we'll.
Hundreds of scars can now be seen on me-
looking like man who had been burned and
then restored Nv case was well known in
this county, and for the benefit of others who
NAV be similarly affected, think it my duty
to give the facts to the public, and to extend
my heartfelt thanks for so valuable a remedy

RINKING SONG By A TEETOTALLF
JOHN G. SAKE.
I've been drinking, I've been drinking
To intoxicatiOn's edge
Do not chide me, for the ;ipple
Wasn't mentioned in the pledge.
Nay, believe me. twas not brandy
Brought the roses that you see
One may get a finer crimson
From purer eau de vie.
No indeed, it was not Claret;
That were something over-weak;
There's vastly better vintage
For he painting of cheek
Not Angelica, the nectar
BY LOyola's children pressed
From the Andalusian clusters
Ripened in the golden West.
Not Madeira, Hook nor sherry
No, indeed, It's none of these
Makes me giddy IN the forehead,
Makes me tremblc in the knees.
Nay-I own tits the honey
That a favored lover sips
All unheeding of the danger
From pair of luscious lips.
Thus it is that I've been drinking
To in:oxication's edge,
Till l marvel that the tipple
Isn't mentioned in the pledge.
For the taste is so enchanting
'Tis impossible TO see
Should it grow into habit
What the consequence may be
Well-Ill heed the sage's lesson
pleasant, though it be in vain
And by drinking very largely
Try to sober me again

Misimdnimn silent People.

When Il number of good-humored peo-
pie are setting out, bright and early in
the morning on some exhilarating expe-
dition, it is pleasant to notice how lively
and expansive they are. For the first hour
they talk all at once, laughing their words
rather than speaking them. But as the
forenoon gees on, one after another drops
gradually into comparative quiet and si-
lence. 1t is not that they have ceased to
enjoy the excursion and each other, but
the first efervescence of the uncorked
animal spirits of the morning has spent
itself.
In a similar fashion, as We get on in
life past the period of obstreperous youth,
we incline to talk less and write less, es-
pecially on the topics which we have most
at heart The younger people notice this,
and think it is because we are growing
lukewarm on these matters. They de
plore Us, among themselves, as being
"lost leaders" or lost followers, of this
and the other cause. But they do not
understand The thought is deeper and
stronger in US now, perhaps, than when
it was visible at the surface and made
more noise. We are beginning to realize
tie uselessness of perpetually talking,
that is all. If there is a thing TO be said
we prefer to wait and say it only when
and where it will hil something or some
body.

CHARLESTON, S. c.. Jan. 1.-The News
and Courier publishes an elaborate review
OF the agricultural and Industrial depart
ment of South Carolina during the past
year. In an editorial analysis it says:
The manufactures and results are magical
and marvellous. The number of manufac-
tories in the state has advanced from 1880, in
1860 to 1892, in 1885. The capital invested
has increased from S693,75S to S2I, 1927 ,970.
The number Of hands employed is 33,-
357, in 1886, against 6,906. in 1860.
The value of the products is S29,951,-
551- The cotton mills now employ
1859 persons. 1t Is estimated that the value
OF the agricultural and garden products of
1885 was S44, sol, and the value of the
corn alone was nearly half the value of the
cotton crop. There is food for thought in
this, and there is still more in the table which
gives the gross value per acre of the princi-
pal crops in the state. Cotton is no longer
king, at least in South Carolina. Irish pota-
toes lead the list with value of SSS per acre
as against Sl2 for cotton. The income of the
people of the state from agricultural prod
ucts, the products in different branches of
manufactures, and from the mines and quar-
r1es amounts to 50 per cent. more than in
1861, when the slave system was supposed to
make the state so PROSE-
